Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using an Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.
About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else. Try to get a refund or dispose of the watch properly.

You can’t.
Only the previous owner - who you presumably do not know - can “release” the activation lock.
Return it for a refund.
Hello Series8forum!
Upon reading Chattanoogan’s reply, I have revoked my response to avoid misinformation and confusion.
I cannot immediately withdraw my response altogether, but I will make an attempt to have it removed.
However, I do wish you the best of luck in resolving your issue!
